Experience the Fun!
The county fair has been enjoyed and cherished by generations of New Yorkers for centuries. With roots in agricultural commerce and competition, the county fair has evolved into a premier community event where families, friends and neighbors can gather for fellowship and fun. It’s woven into the very fabric of our communities.
Recognizing this significance, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature have set aside $1 million in state funds to rejuvenate this time-honored tradition. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets is utilizing this support with a campaign inviting all New Yorkers to experience and enjoy their county and local fairs this summer and in the years to come.
Discoveries and nostalgia await fairgoers, who can now locate their nearest county fair with ease on this website. The county fair is the place to find your interests: food, music and fun to name a few.
And to this day, our county and local fairs stay true to their agricultural roots. It’s an increasingly rare opportunity to slow down and take some time to explore our agricultural heritage in the form of animals, products and competition.
Your tastes, your thrills, your passions, your memories, your friends and more are ready for you to experience this summer.
